installing xp sp3 beethov9.wma can't copy

[Guest Allen]

Hi,

 

Didn't find any reference to the following error I'm getting when installing

XP SP3. The installation complains about installing the beethov9.wma file

saying it couldn't copy the file. The path that it is using does indeed

contain the file. Retry just repeats the error. I went through the install 3

times. Tried searhing for this error in technical support with no luck. Any

suggestions?

That's from Windows Update newsgroup, in fact:

It seems to have been to a file permissions problem.
